Under the motto "The Future of the Brandenburg Food Industry - Impulses for a New Beginning", the 12th Food Industry Day on 29 June 2022 in Potsdam brought together around 100 participants to discuss current trends in the industry and to revive contacts that had been neglected due to corona. Organized as a conference of the Food Industry Cluster Brandenburg, of which the IASP is an active member, the focus of the industry meeting this year was on how the transformation of the agricultural and food industry can be shaped by and with the stakeholders in the state of Brandenburg. In addition, the new "Food Industry Master Plan" was presented and the Brandenburg Innovation Award 2022 was awarded. In addition to the conference programme, the accompanying exhibition programme with contributions from the science and transfer landscape provided approaches for new cooperations.
